Salvador Dali Surrealist Leda Armchair Sculpture Black Label Limited Edition

About the Item

Leda armchair designed by Dali manufactured by BD. All pieces of ironwork in this collection are made of brass. The black label Leda collection has an artisanal application of a special patina (metal dissolved in nitric acid) which is applied to a lightly heated surface accomplished with a gas blow torch. The reaction caused results in an irregular dark finish. The black label collection came to market in a limited edition of 105 pieces (the age of Dali in 2009). Measures: 47 x 60 x 92 H. cm Year of design: 1935-1937 Manufactured Upon Request. Taken from “Femme á la téte rose” 1935 (Woman with a head of roses). It was sufficient for this sculpture to be made as a three dimensional piece, remaining faithful to every detail in Dalí’s painting. Dalí affirmed: “A chair can be used even to sit on, but only on one condition: That we sit uncomfortably.” We can sit on the Leda, but due to the fact that it only has three legs and that the chair is heavy, it being made of solid brass, is more a work of art than a functional piece of furniture. Each exquisite piece is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, infusing it with a sense of individuality and artistry. The process of creating each item ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike, as subtle variations and unique characteristics emerge through the artisan's touch. These distinctive qualities may manifest as slight differences in texture, small scratches, or variations in the brass finish, serving as a testament to the authentic craftsmanship and the human element invested in every creation. Furthermore, as part of the inherent charm of these handcrafted pieces, some variations might present themselves as occasional stains or slight tone differences on the surface, adding to the allure of their uniqueness. Embracing these variations, our handcrafted pieces must be considered sculptures, each one telling a story of the artisan's dedication and evoking a sense of timeless elegance that cannot be replicated by mass-produced alternatives. These nuances celebrate the organic nature of the crafting process and contribute to the character and soul of every item, elevating it from mere decor to a cherished masterpiece in its own right.

  • "Leda" Armchair Sculpture by Salvador Dalí 20th Century Surrealist design
    By Salvador Dalí­, BD Barcelona Design
    Located in Barcelona, ES
    Armchair model "Leda" Structure in polished cast brass varnish. Salvador Dali Taken from “Femme à tête de roses" (1935)” 1935 (Woman with a head of roses). It was sufficient for this sculpture to be made as a three dimensional piece, remaining faithful to every detail in Dalí’s painting. Dalí affirmed: “A chair can be used even to sit on, but only on one condition: That we sit uncomfortably.” We can sit on the Leda, but due to the fact that it only has three legs and that the chair is heavy, it being made of solid brass, is more a work of art than a functional piece of furniture. © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres, 2022 Artworks by Salvador Dalí: © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, VEGAP, Barcelona, 2022 Salvador Dalí is the most versatile and prolific artists of the 20th century and the most famous Surrealist. Though chiefly remembered for his painterly output, in the course of his long career he successfully turned to sculpture, printmaking, fashion, advertising, writing, filmmaking and design. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters from a young age, he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. He moved closer to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. In the Paris of the 1930s, Dalí surrounded himself with a circle of friends working in the application of art to a number of varied disciplines, beyond the study of purely pictorial art. One of these, Jean-Michel Frank, an acclaimed furniture designer and decorator in Paris at that time, got on extremely well with Dalí, and together they developed a number of ideas. One example of this is the Bracelli lamp, a classic design in Jean-Michel’s manner of designing and working that Dalí adopted for his home in Portlligat. Among Dalí’s projects, which add to his CV as a designer, are the garden furniture for his home in Portlligat, the complete architecture of the Night Club (in the shape of a hedgehog) for the Hotel Presidente in Acapulco (1957) and a project for a bar in California in the 1940s. His creations were not limited to traditional furniture elements, but included taps, handles, knobs, prints and objects of indeterminate use. In 1933, Dalí even registered the patent for the design of a bench as an outdoor seat. In the 1990s, a team of experts led by Oscar Tusquets set out to bring to life the furniture that Dalí had sketched for Jean-Michel Frank, including the Leda chair and low table taken from the 1935 painting “Femme...
